Perhaps… an IceWM Theme


Here is the first IceWM theme I’ve published, however all credit for this one has to go to my fantastic partner McKie. She built this one from the ground up, pixel by pixel using The Gimp.

You can install this theme by extracting the tarball into your ~/.icewm/themes directory.

Ubun….tastic!!!


Last Christmas the hard disk in binky (’s laptop) died a sudden, horrible and inexplicable death. Unfortunatly we were unable to get a reasonable replacement at the time, and so, Kate worked from an Ubuntu live boot CD. In an insane rage necessary to get away from Gnome and to find something far less brown a new theme was born, with the assistance of a USB memory stick… The theme based around our favourite colours (Purple for me and Green for Kate) stayed in our hearts and on binky’s desktop long after Ubuntu and our sanity was replaced courtesy of Gentoo.

A so here is the first (public) release of the theme we dubbed Ubuntastic (it’ less brown!)

Perhaps… now in RGB


’s been at it again, and this time she’s come up with Perhaps RGB, a version of the perhaps IceWM theme with a cool Greed, Red and Blue lighting effect.

From Kate’s description of the theme:

With POV-Ray’s help I shed a little light on Perhaps…
a little red, green and blue light… one of each…
The result, a Perhaps for those with more colourful desires.

Also available is a matching theme for gkrellm.
